PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE:
NPH: PEOSH COMPLAINT FILED WITH THE NJ DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & REPRESENTATION REGARDING THE COVID VACCINATION MANDATE
JNESO has filed a complaint with the NJ Department of Health regarding the lack of fit testing of masks you receive from management. The regulation states that you must yearly be fit tested, and when you receive a mask that is different from the structure of the mask you previously had you must also be fit tested.
The City of Newark has not done this for our JNESO members. An investigation will be conducted by an Occupational Health Consultant for the NJ PEOSH.
JUDGE CONFIRMS ARBITRATOR’S AWARD, SIDES WITH JNESO MEMBERS REGARDING BACK-PAY OWED!
In early 2020, JNESO won an arbitration awarding members who did not receive their retro back-pay owed. The City of Newark fought this award. At the end of 2020, a judge confirmed the Arbitrator’s decision and awarded all members back-pay owed.
See below salary increase awarded in the arbitration, confirmed by the judge’s decision.
Congratulations and thank you to Staci Lakes for assuming the position of Treasurer!
Congratulations and thank you also to Janice Clinton for assuming the position of Secretary!
And, a BIG CONGRATULATIONS to RUBY HUNTLEY on YOUR RETIREMENT! Ruby, thank you for your years of service to the Union and our profession. YOU WILL BE MISSED!
Remember this is our Union and we all have a Voice!!
